POSE procedure

Acronym for Primary Obesity Surgery Endoluminal, POSE is an incision-less endoscopic procedure for weight loss that is performed on an outpatient basis in a clinic. In this, a flexible endoscope (a tube with a micro camera in the end) is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and with special tools to create a plication in the walls of the stomach and decrease its size. This further reduces the ability of the stomach to accommodate food and also decrease the hunger sensations. Thus you feel full even after consuming a small quantity of food. `
